Hey guys, first time post and would appreciate some insight. I bought a 95 Disco for $500 in need of major TLC. Now I'm stumped with either an ignition or fuel issue. Here's what I have done so far:
1. Replaced front diff
2. Rebuilt both front axles and brakes
3. Replaced lower radiator hose and oil pan gasket since front diff was off
4. Replaced thermostat, battery, oil, and oil/fuel/air filter
5. New coil, rotor, distributor, wires and sparks. Timing was reset to OEM by a Rover mechanic because it wouldn't start after I made the changes
6. Just replaced center and back mufflers yesterday. Old ones were rusted and seemed clogged.
After installing the new mufflers, I started the truck and let it idle. The engine idled perfectly and sounded like it could drive around the world. No knocks, no idle variance, just pure glorious engine purr!!
Drove the truck around the neighborhood for about 5 minutes and started hearing a knocking sound. Pulled into my driveway and let it idle so I could locate the knocking sound. After about 3 minutes of knocking at idle the truck shuts off. It was almost like someone turned it off with the key. I tried to restart and now it just cranks over.
I did research on the forums. Thought it might be the crankshaft sensor but this model doesn't have one. Any suggestions?
